GM to all the community, these last few weeks I have relaxed a lot and I am drawing without following a sequence or collection, I am really drawing whatever comes to mind based on things that I like and I find interesting, I haven't drawn for a long time something with a dark or tentacles style, I really like tentacles especially in this type of art that pretends to be “dark” so I thought I would make a nice portrait accompanied by a dark color palette, desaturated, tentacles and black ink, using a style not so delicate but rather with a bit of texture, somewhat less realistic and less soft than what I usually do, I really loved the result and I want to work with more art that implies this mysterious and dark atmosphere.
The initial sketch would be something normal, but then this idea of adding tentacles came to my mind, but I would only add in her right eye, however, later I thought of adding one more to the background as well, with the color palette that I chose ranging from very dark and desaturated tones to a light pale blue I began to paint my character, I removed what was my sketch to better guide me in creating a shape for her face and apply a little bit better the shadows and lights, I wanted to choose a fantasy color for her hair, but I felt that it did not make a very good harmony for the drawing, at least for me, so I decided to apply a brown color.
I began to form his eyes much better, I focused a lot on them in this part, to be able to make quite beautiful eyes that would cry ink, after this I began to soften her entire torso and face a little, to then fill in these tentacles, and from of shadows and lights give it volume and better shape.
Since I was making parts of a sea creature, I decided to draw the background with a desaturated blue simulating water, really the original background would be brown, but I really liked trying this blue and how it looked, at this point I felt that something else was missing and that's when I thought of creating another tentacle behind her, finally I applied some color adjustments to further highlight the strokes, the clarity of the image and a bit of saturation.
I really liked this art, I've been working on something very cool since last night, I want to finish it soon to share it with you, I know that many will like the inspiration I take for this new illustration, I hope you have a nice weekend.
